PNG-born lock plying trade in Fiji

PAPUA New Guinea-born Naitasiri lock forward Chris Minimbi is thankful to be part of a Fijian team that is full of exciting talents.
The 20-year-old has been impressive in the Skipper Cup, which is the Fiji Rugby Union’s national provincial rugby union championship.
Minimbi is a former Fiji Under-20 representative and he represented the Fiji Warriors in this year’s World Rugby Pacific Challenge.

“It’s family first then rugby, I really enjoy it,” Minimbi said.
